I also want to look at videos of how to play the T67. I've played a few games in it the past 2-3 days or so and I just keep getting murdered. I try to be much more patient in this tank. I sit way back..... and then I get one shotted by something before my 6th sense goes off. I want to like this thing but I'm just terrible at it. The replays not loading kind of sucks.

If those replays are from before the patch, that would probably be why. I'd wager the new physics stuff doesn't play nice with the data in the old replay files.

It appears to happen randomly for me. I got the replay of that sick Chaffee handstand working fine, but when I first patched, I played a few games without mods to get a replay, then after installing mods none of the replays worked. Clearing out my mods folder did not help, none of them worked.

I blame the minipatches.

I'm seeing duplicate chat in replays too. Also, my equipment slots are all hosed up in my garage recently. I'll see empty slots on tanks, but when I mouse over them, it says there's a vert stab or whatever installed in that slot like I expected.

It's kind of annoying in combination with the equipment auto-return mod because I don't know if it's actually swapping out my camo net and binocs on certain tanks or if it's just bugged.

In my experience, if the wireless mouse cursor is jerky it's because of interference between the mouse and receiver. Try putting the receiver on a usb extension cord or something to get it super close to your mousepad and you shouldn't experience that problem.

I used to use a Logitech MX1000 (wireless mouse) and never had a problem unless the receiver was more than a couple feet from the mouse.

March Mapness tournament people - we got paid an hour ago. Guess they finally got into the office over in Minsk.

XP Grinds (in thousands of XP):
KV-4: 124/166
ISU: 141/176
AMX 30: 132/180
E 50: 108/183
WZ-111 1-4: 87/200

So that's 3 tier 10s and two tier 9s I need to buy once those are done, 25.6 million credits. Fortunate, I'm never buying the AMX 30B or 113, and the E-50 is probably a keeper (and the E-50M got weaker due to it no longer being a better E5) so that's 3 more tier 10s I'll never buy!

Other stuff I may or may not buy (in millions of credits):
SU-101: 2.6
WZ-120: 3.5
Ferd/JP2 (probably Ferd because lol the JP2 is paper): 2.6
Obj 430 II: 3.5
O-Ni: 1.5 and a crew
PTA: 3.5
M46 Patton: 3.5

20.7 million credits! I've got 11 million stored up and just waiting on sales because I have enough tanks to grind. Come on Obj 263 On Track!

Tier tens unlocked and unpurchased:
Maus (crap)
T92 (crap unless this Bombardier mission continues to elude me)
Bat 155 58 (crap and sold once already, two years ago)
183 (crap but I might rebuy it if this #snapshotmeta poo poo isn't changed because lol 550m full bloom shots)

Everything before the O-I (I did not expect the O-I Exp to be so insane, and I wanted big fuckoff derp tank)

Type 58 (both lines)

That's a lot of free XP holy poo poo. Also I haven't actually ground out modules in a long rear end time, aside from some engines or turrets if they are incredibly minor boosts (like the engine on the WZ 111 1-4) so that's even more free XP. The reason I skipped the M103 was because I'd end up just spending the same amount of xp on the modules, PLUS the credits to buy the drat thing, so I just skipped the whole tank. Tier 9 module grinds are bullshit.

Eh, if you don't constantly have tanks unlocked for 20-30 million credits you are not even trying IMHO.

I've been grinding the same tanks for months if not years now. I'm guessing I play an hour per week on average (probably much much less if you take into account long stretches of not logging on). Also, I rarely play a premium account anymore.

I'm playing the T-10. I'm maybe halfway to the IS-7 after more than a year.

I'm still grinding modules on the Pershing (don't even have the top gun yet). So, I haven't really even started the M46 grind.

I'll probably just stop at the T67 in the American turreted TD line now that I have it. Doesn't seem worth the effort for someone who never plays.

Still grinding the AMX 12 t. Been on that one for a while now.

I just bought an M6 Heavy. So, I need to grind out some modules on that one. Luckily I had a lot of stuff unlocked from the American mediums.

I'm dabbling in the French heavy line as well, but the BDR G1 B makes me want to stop. I'm not sure how to play it, and it just looks so stupid that I think it really lowers my opinion of the tank in general.

I actually have a surplus of equipment lying around, especially if I dismount the stuff from the grinds I finish. I've got Rammers and VStabs for the next 2-4 tanks. I'm really just short on Coated Optics, but I have a bunch just sitting on tournament tanks that I could steal if I need to. That's also more money to buy stuff if there was ever a sale.

This is my current tech tree status. The first image is the tanks I currently have set as my primaries that I'm working on or just am trying to use or get better with.




















USA - I'm loving the M103 right now but am a long way from getting to the E5. I still have the tracks and engine to unlock as well. It's an enjoyable tank though so I'm not concerned about it. I added the T67 to my primaries as well just a day or two ago because I heard it was a great stat padder. Oddly that isn't anything I'm concerned about whatsoever but since it's considered a great stat padder I wanted to try it out again. I'm just so loving terrible at it. Now I kind of want to learn how to do well in it.

Germany - Not sure if I want to continue up the German TD line. I might switch to the heavy line there. Some day I'll work on the German arty but I have too many others I'm working on atm. I REALLY want a good scout so I've been going up the light line as well. I was told the R 251 is excellent for that so that's what I'm working towards. I really want a good passive scout.

USSR - Also I'm maybe 20-30k exp away from the T-54 which I heard is just great so that's why I'm working on the T-44.

UK - Last night I elited the Bishop and dropped the line. Not sure if I'll get back to it or not. The British arty line is not my play style. Working up the medium line as well and not enjoying that very much. I'm just bad with Brit tanks I guess.

France - I don't know if I want to continue up the French arty line or not. I'm just a few thousand exp from eliting the 155 50. I have that AMX AC 46 that I just took off of my primaries a few days ago. I don't remember why but I added the 13 90 as a primary last night as well. It was late and... beer.

Czech - Working on the Czech line just because it's new. So far I'm not having good luck with it.

Japan - I started working on the Japanese heavy line last week and accidentally sold the Type 95 thinking it was something else. That made me upset so I don't know if or when I'll get back it it.

China - I haven't played the Chinese line in 3 years so I don't know what's going on with that. I think that was when I was on my quest to find the best scout.


So that's what is going on with my terrible tanking dreams. I don't know what lines to continue or what I want or what is the best/most fun tanks to have.

The secret to the T67 is to not get spotted. The T67 is a CHAI-sniper extraordinaire; you need to stay the hell back and never attract the enemy's attention.

Nope, in the absence of interference wireless mice are fine for gaming. You haven't mentioned the particular mouse you're struggling with, but I've used wireless gaming ones from Logitech and Razer and they've worked as expected.

E50M (Not a terribly good tank, didn't like the E50, will not buy.)

WTE100 (Totally broken, not much fun to play from what I hear. Will not buy)
Foch (lol gently caress no)
AMX 12t (waiting for sixth sense)
WZ-132 (I hear its not as good as the 131, so i'm kind of dragging my feet on this one. I'll get it eventually)
T49 (also lol. I might get it for comedy, but not while I have other poo poo to buy. Bulldog is fun though.)
M12 (Eventually)

Coming Soon (<50k xp)
212A (A marginally better iteration of the same old thing.)
Obj 268 (Bad Tank, will not buy. Might keep the 704 at least.)
T57 Heavy (Nerfed into the ground, might not buy.)
IS-2 (I loved the soviet IS, so hopefully this won't be like the type 58 all over again.)

Eventually (>50k)
Skoda T50 (Will unlock and buy as soon as I can because the VTU is a Bad Tank.)
T-34-1 (Will not buy. Bad Tank, plus I'll get the WZ-120 via the 132.)
